Brickbat: Out of Order

Mohammad Alatar

A Kuwaiti court has sentenced Ayyad al-Harbi and Rashid Saleh al-Anzi to two years in prison for using Twitter to insult the country's emir.

What if he had insulted the Ymir instead?

[Fist of Etiquette]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. People who tweet are the worst. WHO CARES THAT YOU HATED WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU'RE EXPECTING? No one, that's who. Lock them all up.

[Austrian Anarchy]

Kuwait is being a good ally taking its cues from Sheriff Bradshaw.

[PS]

As opposed to Britain which sentences twitterers to prison for insulting black football players.

[Suthenboy]

In all seriousness, we should not take what we have here for granted. In any other country on this planet nearly every member of this commentariat would have the shit beaten out of us by government goons and then locked up.

I wonder what I would get for calling barry the jug eared king of the shitweasels? One term for my disrespect? Or one term for each offense?

[Night Elf Mohawk]

Wait, I thought shit-weasel was hyphenated.

[Suthenboy]

Oooops. My grammatical error would surely add on to my time.

[$park?]

I'd rather make a shitty situation better than make the best of a shitty situation.

[AlmightyJB]

Good thing we "liberated" them.
